Unable to install Adobe Download Assistant due to the installer being mis-configured

Download Assistant offers the upgrade from 1.0.6 to 1.2.5, so I "download now" but it won't install because "This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance." I have repeated the process and get the same response every time. And I cannot run my InCopy CS6 without this.

Branching this to a new discussion.  Natbelz this topic has been covered at http://forums.adobe.com/message/5033774#5033774.  Please see this discussion for a solution to your current difficulties.

  • Install Adobe Download Assistant qui ne fonctionne pas

    Bonjour,
    Je souhaite installer la version d'évaluation Adobe CS6 Master Collection et je me heurte à un problème depuis quelques jours. Je m'explique, après avoir téléchargé le Install Adobe Download Assistant depuis la page dédiée, je rencontre ce message d'erreur à chaque tentative.
    J'ai ré-installé Adobe AIR dans le doute, téléchargé à nouveau l'installateur, mais le message d'erreur persiste. Je ne trouve pas d'explication à ce problème, et je souhaiterai savoir si certains d'entre-vous l'ont déjà rencontré ; quelqu'un peut-il m'éclairer à ce sujet ?
    Sincèrement,
    Jules

    Problème résolu, il s'agissait bien d'un problème entre deux instances du Adobe Download Assistant ; j'ai supprimé proprement l'ancienne à l'aide de AppZapper, vidé la corbeille et tenté de lancer ADA à nouveau : tout fonctionne… ! Voilà, un grand merci pour ton aide.

    After Adobe Download Assistant is installed, you can start it at any time and select a product to download at the bottom of the window. The list updates as new products become available to download with the Adobe Download Assistant.

  • Install Adobe Download Assistant

    I am trying to download the trial for CS5 Master Suite.
    I have downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant, however I keep getting the error: "Error extracting the product installer (Error 102), Try downloading the product again".
    I have uninstalled the assistant and downloaded it again, however I am getting the same error.
    Thoughts? Help?

    If you've just downloaded the trial, you'd be downloading Creative Suite 5.5.
    To help us, what version of Mac OS X are you running? What kind of computer are you running it on? Does it meet the minimum specifications for the product?

  • Unable to install CS5.5 on Mac Yosemite: the installer is from an unidentified developer.[was: i just bought a new macbook]

    I have just got a new macbook which I would like to download my copy of CS5.5 onto. It doesn't have a disc insertion section section so I downloaded CS5 from the adobe website. However I can't install it because my computer says the installer is from an unidentified developer. Can you help please?

    That's Apple OS X's Gatekeeper kicking in.
    Control+click the downloaded file and click Open to manually tell OS X that you trust the file and it's OK to open it.

    From where are you downloading the Adobe Application Manager? Has it been this one
    Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Macintosh : Adobe Application Manager
    What version of Premiere Elements Mac are you running on your Mac Pro OS Lion 10.7.5? Or, is it that program that you are trying to install with the Adobe Application Manager?

  • Unable to Open adobe reader Portfolios due to flash not being installed

    Flash : 12.0
    Adobe Reader: 11.05
    OS: Windows 8.1
    Browser: IE 11
    Hi,
    when launching a PDF that is classed as a portfolio I get the below error which appears to require flash to be installed.
    two things im sort of observing:
    due to being on windows 8.1 Flash is now installed via Microsoft. I cannot find a valid update for windows 8.1 from adobe site  can find for windows 8 but nothing for windows 8.1
    Since Flash player Plugin is no longer bundled with Adobe Reader I need to install seperatly but i cant because of point 1.
    If i install the windows 8 version of flash onto the machine I can open the PDF file no problem but by doiing this im not sure what file i might be over wrtiing and cause further issues down the track .
    Read somewhere that the NPSWF64_12_0_0_70.dll is what adobe reader would use . copy the file to the required location and registering the dll seemed to do nothing as i get the same error.
    My question is how can i get the Flash Plugin for Adobe reader to work so that I can open PDF portfolios ?

    Windows 8.x only comes with the Flash Player ActiveX (for Internet Explorer); you need to install the plugin manually from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe
